House through the foliage, Calle Valdovin, Colonia Jardin de la Rosa, Prosperidad, my neighbourhood, Madrid

            Spanish
Colonia El Jardín de la Rosa (Chamartín): Se construyó en terrenos de la Huerta del Caño Roto, en Prosperidad. Está situada entre las calles de López de Hoyos, Padre Claret y Valdomir. Fue construida por A. Sanz Marcos en 1927. La colonia tiene forma triangular con viviendas de una y dos plantas.


La mayor parte de las colonias existentes en Madrid se construyeron en los años veinte y treinta del siglo XX, al amparo de las Leyes de Casas Baratas de 1908, 1911, 1921, 1924 -entre otras- para la construcción de viviendas para obreros, funcionarios y militares. Para ello se buscaron terrenos en el extrarradio -sobre todo en el antiguo municipio de Chamartín de la Rosa-, que fueran sitios apacibles y económicos para vivir.

De casas baratas para clases modestas han pasado en la actualidad a ser viviendas de lujo para aquellos que quieren vivir en un hotel individual o adosado con jardín dentro de la ciudad.

English
The  "colonia" El Jardin de la Rosa  (Chamartin) It was built on land of the "Huerto del Caño Roto", in Prosperidad between the streets of Lopez de Hoyos, Padre Claret and Valdovin. It was constructed by A  Sanz  Marcos in 1927. The "colonia" is made up of one and two storeyed houses and is in the shape of a triangle.
The  majority of the "colonias" that still exist in Madrid were built  in the 1920s and 30s  under the protection of the Cheap Housing Laws of 1908, 1911, 1921, 1924, among others, for the construction of dwellings for workers, civil servants and members of the armed forces. To this end land was looked for on the outskirts of Madrid which were peaceful and economical places to live,especially in the former municipality of Chamartin de la Rosa (now Chamartin).
From cheap houses for the lower classes they have become luxurious dwellings for those who wish to live in the city in detached, semidetached or terraced houses with a garden.
